Review of Power Management for Kinetic Energy Harvesting Systems
Paper provides first comprehensive review of power electronics for energy harvesting, but goes far beyond simply paraphrasing other literature. It states important metrics, and categorises designs according to complexity, efficiency, quiescent power consumption, start-up behaviour and utilisation of harvester; this required significant analysis. It defined important metric "minimum operating power" which is now increasingly adopted as measure of performance. Paper has been cited by leading groups including Imperial College [Prof. Vinter], University of Cambridge [Prof. Amaratunga] and Georgia Tech [Prof. Erturk]. Research led to successful EPSRC grant application (EP/K012908/1, £661k, 2013-6) led by University of Bristol with Newcastle University.
